Privacy Policy | BetSpective

1. Who We Are

BetSpective ("we", "us", "our") is an independent affiliate review website operated at betspective.com. We publish reviews and comparisons of online casinos and sportsbooks. We are not a gambling operator and do not offer gambling services.

For privacy enquiries, contact us at contact@betspective.com.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information you provide

Email address — if you subscribe to our newsletter or submit a contact form
User-submitted reviews — your rating and written review text

3. Cookies

We use the following types of cookies:

Essential cookies — required for the site to function (session, language preference, cookie consent record). These cannot be disabled.
Analytics cookies — we use privacy-friendly analytics to understand how visitors use the site. No personal data is sold. These are only set after you consent.
Affiliate tracking — when you click a link to a casino or sportsbook, a tracking cookie may be set by that operator. We receive a commission if you sign up. This is governed by their privacy policy, not ours.

You can withdraw cookie consent at any time via the cookie banner, or by clearing cookies in your browser settings.

4. How We Use Your Information

To deliver relevant content based on your location
To send newsletters if you subscribed (you can unsubscribe at any time)
To respond to contact form enquiries
To moderate and display user-submitted reviews
To improve our site through aggregated analytics
To comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

5. Affiliate Disclosure

BetSpective earns commissions when visitors click our links and register with an operator. This does not affect the price you pay, and it does not influence our editorial ratings. Our reviews are based on independent testing. See our Terms of Use for full affiliate disclosure.

6. Data Sharing

We share data only in these limited circumstances:

Service providers — hosting, email delivery, analytics tools (Supabase, Vercel). They process data only on our instructions.
Legal compliance — if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights of users or third parties.
Business transfers — in the event of a merger or acquisition, data may transfer under equivalent protections.

7. Your Rights (GDPR / UK GDPR)

If you are in the EEA or UK, you have the right to:

Access — request a copy of data we hold about you
Rectification — correct inaccurate data
Erasure — request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")

Withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time
